Well, barely in time for christmas, I got this put together….
In 2008, I did a calendar using my photography for the first time and gave copies to friends. It got very strong and positive feedback, not just from my friends, but from people who saw it and kept asking if they could get copies.
This year, I decided instead of doing a single limited run, I’d set it up so I could order more copies later if I wanted, and allow all of you to buy copies if you want to. After doing some research, I decided to use CafePress.
So I now have available my first buyable piece of photography, my 2009 Wall Calendar, now available from the new Chuqui Store, powered by CafePress. If nothing else, it’s an interesting experiment to help me get a feel for some things I have planned in 2009. Price of a calendar (buy one for mom! buy dozens for your friends! If you hurry, you can still get them by christmas!!!!!!) is $16.99, and I will donate $1 of every sale to Santa Clara Valley Audubon as a way to help support that organization.
The images I chose for the calendar represent a selection of representative work I did since the last calendar, including my winter trip to Yosemite, our fall trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons and some nice pieces from the Morro Bay and Carrizo Plains area, plus, of course, birds. The images I chose are available to view on flickr.
A couple of my absolute favorites from the last year include this landscape from Yellowstone

and it wouldn’t be the same without a look at Half Dome, in this case, during a winter storm:
With any luck, I’ll be able to buy Bob Power a coffee with the proceeds! This is just the first of a number of things i plan to do starting in 2009 — and I’ll talk about that in more detail after the holidays. Until then, don’t forget to visit the Chuqui Store and do your part for fixing the economy!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all
